REMARKABLE FIDELITY.
A Man Sentenced to Prison Acts as
His own Keeper.


The Reno, New, Gazette learns of rath-
er unusual and peculiar occurrence in Car
son last Saturday afternoon. The evening
of the previous day Sheriff Sweeney, of
Eureka county, arrived in Reno, having in
his custody L. O. Benedict, who had been
found guilty of embezzling funds belonging
to a Base Range lodge of Odd Fellows while
he was secretary of it, and sentenced to the
penitentiary for two years The Sheriff
and prisoner were obliged to remain in town
until the next morning before they
could get a train for the State CAPT
tai, where the penitentiary is To-
Gated Before the train started Benedict
expressed desire to see certain friends in
Reno. Sweeney, feeling confident that the
convicted man would not attempt to escape,
told him he could do so if he would take the
passenger train that left for Carson at / As
O'Clock that afternoon and go direct to the
prison and deliver himself up to Warden
that he was DESTROYS of going to Virginia
City, and guessed he would go on the train
about to leave. Benedict, promising to do
as was told, was given the official docu-
mentS, with the instructions that they be
given upon his arrival at the prison to the
warden. A moment afterward he was left
alone, Sweeney having boarded the train
that was just moving off.
Benedict saw his Reno friends, and at / 80
O'clock was aboard the train that was to
take him to Carson. Upon his arrival at
the capital he started off at once for the
prison. Before he had proceeded up the
main street very far he met Warden McCul-
Tough and recognized him.
II have some business here for you to
look after, said Benedict.
"All right" said the warden; "what is
it?'
II have been convicted of ENLIGHTENMENT
and sentenced to the State penitentiary for
two years Here are the documents. Sheriff
Sweeney had to go to Virginia City and he
gave them to me to deliver to you"
"How can know that you are the man
Benedict spoken of in the papers~ asked the
warden This looks like rather peculiar
case. cannot receive you at the prison
until you are properly vouched for, or at
least identified.
"That is impossible just now" replied
Benedict, ''for | don't know of soul in
Carson that l am acquainted with"
'How long has it been since Sweeney left
you to go to Virginia City"
'Since Gas o'clock this morning"
'Well, would advise that you go to the
telegraph office, send a message to Mr..
Sweeney stating that refuse to accept you
until YOU are at least identified, and then go
to the Ormsby House and remain there until
he arrives
The guilt-oppressed and bewildered con-
Wet, a man nearly 60 years of age, alone
and friendleSs, scarcely knew what to do,
but finally did as he was babe, and after
securing a room at the hotel sat down and
cried. Sweeney arrived that evening and
took him over to the prison

Capt. Brabo, of the Anita, was, if any
thing. more entertaining than Capt. Lund,
Jr. He certainly talked more and told more
stories. He was careful not to tell anything
about aligators that he could not prove.
He talked well into the evening and had a
large audience. AS several of the passen
GERS expressed it, 1.-THE Captain is half the
frip:'' and he certainly did add much inter
est TO it. He was well posted, knew the
baunts of the alligators, and when he said
we would see one at certain point we were
seldom disappointed. Altogether we count
ed between 35 and 40 Of them on our
tr.ip ND That would measure from one
foot to fourteen foet in length. AT one time
fine CAPTAIN said: "When we round that
point on the left you will see hump-backed
alirator;" and sure enough, when we
rounded the point there lay on the east
bank in the warm mud, baslIing in the sun,
an alligator about nine feet long, with huge
hump on his back. He required many toots
of the whistle, as did many of them, before
he awolSe and slipped off into the river by
and by one lady passenger, thinking the
CAPTAIN was exerting himself to entertain
tbe passengers, ventured to remark: Isn't
the Captain tired telling us so many stories,
and pointing out interesting places and
thingsr "0h, no." said the Captain,
~ am wound up every day, and it would
NOT do to stop me befo:-e | run down. When
/ run down win tell you" and sure enough,
as we noared our destination, he remarked:
az am running down. and soon his voice
was heard giving orders TO the crew.

ON A RUNAWAY TRAIN.
Five Plucky Brakemen-T Curious
Cause of the Mishap.
From, the Cumberland Times.

From the Cumberland Times.
The telegraph operators along the line of
the Cumberland and Pennsylvania railroad
between this city and Mount Savage were
startled on Saturday afternoon last by hear
ing roar and rattle, and seeing long
cloud of dust go rushing by their offices.
For some time they were at a loss to know
the cause that a train had run away they
knew, by being able to discern some three
or four cars. but not until some time after
ward did they CLEAN the facts of the case,
which were these:
A train of thirty-five Baltimore and Ohio
loaded coal hoppers left Mount Savage,
bound for Cumberland, shortly after l
o'clock on that day. Just before reaching
BarrelIsville it was discovered that, for
some reason or another, the brakes had no
effect upon the cars The engineer imme-
diately reversed his engine, which blew out
the cylinder heads. Destruction seemingly
stared him in the face, and, together with
the fireman, he jumped for his lie. The
brakemen, of whom there were five, sta
toned at different portions of the train
went pluckily and steadily to work, and,
screwing the brakes of each car down
tightly as they went, retreated to the last
car, which they uncoupled, and then put the
brakes on. This placed it under control, and
they followed ON down by gravity, when
they found the train at standstlll just
above the iron bridge the other side OF the
Narrows.
JJpon examining into the cause of the
failure of the brakes to work, they found
that the accumulation of axle grease, de
posted in the boxes during the cold
weather, had, owing to the sudden change
in Temperature on Saturday, melted and
dripped to the tracks, oiling them, and In
